The guy is offering unlock services but doesn't have a compatible phone with which to put a Telecom SIM into ?

I'm keen to see what he comes back with, but I think he's just on here whinging in the hope to get sympathy ... or here's a thought ... he's in deep poo with the wife/boss/business partner for letting a good number fade away due to neglect and is doing a war dance to show that Telecom are all unjust and evil and stole it from him and it's not his fault!! ;-)

My bet is that we won't see an update on this story because

1. The OP now thinks the entire Geekzone community is paid by Telecom to side with them 2. The OP won't get anything so there's no reason for an update...

Do the TDR publicly list complaints and outcomes, like courts so we can see precedents that are made, or is it kept confidential? I'm just wondering how many people have dealt with them in a dispute.EDIT: Just read their website, and see it is all confidential.

70MK1: FYI - if you top up online (via web NOT via a handset) provided you have valid credit card details it WILL always go through, the online topup does not apply or associate the credit you purchase with any mobile number.

You are given the top up voucher information on screen & a copy of this is sent via text message to the number you nominate in the "receiving your top-up voucher" field

Once the payment / debit is processed you are then presented with the top up voucher information & instructed to call the prepaid IVR (*333) follow the prompts and top up using the voucher.

Below is a screen scrape of this exact process as I tried it just now (replaced mobile number & voucher number with X's for privacy)
